Code Web Chat is an open-source and privacy-first AI coding toolkit for VS Code. It helps construct prompts for chatbot smart workspaces (called projects, gems, or spaces) and APIs. It's free!

Select context, type a prompt...

Wait a few seconds...

Apply response from clipboard...

Tip

Don't want to make edits in chatbots? CWC supports remote and local (e.g. Ollama) model providers.

Enabling autofill

Got tired with copy and paste? Enable prompt autofill with a browser extension! It's open-source.

• Chrome Web Store
• Firefox Add-ons

List of supported chatbots:

• AI Studio
• Arena
• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Copilot
• DeepSeek
• Doubao
• Gemini
• GitHub Copilot
• Grok
• HuggingChat
• Kimi
• Mistral
• Open WebUI
• OpenRouter
• Qwen
• Together
• Yuanbao
• Z AI

Important

The Apply response button placed under responses is not a means of automatic output extraction, it's an alias for the original copy to clipboard button. Review the content script to learn about implementation details.

Note

Use forwarding of port 55155 when using remote machine via SSH.

Enterprise security

Code Web Chat operates exclusively on your machine. When using the browser extension for prompt autofill, data is moved via editor-browser communication channel run on local Websockets. For API tools, model providers are called directly.

The tool does not collect telemetry.
